The voice of the text in writing is like a bellow. One writes to find uniqueness in the world, at the risk of not being understood. One reads to enter a path of sentences that lead to one’s own heart. The voice of the ox is a secret, ceremonial search for literary work in writing, that other space we inhabit in dreams or nocturnal experiences.

The author is guided by master voices of ancient, medieval, and Renaissance literature, from Saint Augustine to Dante, Cervantes, and King Alfonso X, who revolutionized his era by making Castilian Spanish the official language. With them, she opens a profound reflection on written language and reading as a joyful celebration of life.
